The 3 Fresh! Plays for our second weekend are:

Curry Puff by Kimberly Arriola (5.00pm)

Curry Puff, is a verbatim play from the perspective of Robiah Lia Caniago, a 40 year old Indonesian woman who was convicted of operating an unlicensed curry puff factory, in her two room HDB flat. The incident drew much attention from the media as well as the general public. Many sporting opposing views in regards to the law’s failure to take her circumstances into account. Yet through it all, there was one voice which went unheard, the voice of Robiah’s. This is her side of the story.

Balek Kampung by David Khoo (7.00pm)

A hundred years in the future, Singapore is run by an artificial intelligence composed of the preserved consciousness and memories of its greatest leaders and citizens. A regular broadcast of Balek Kampung, Symphonic 924’s evening programme, takes a headfirst plunge into the surreal end of the pool after being shoved off the diving board of humdrumness by a spiritual awakening within the artificial intelligence. As improbable as it sounds, hilarity ensues.

Tuition by Euginia Tan (9.00pm)

Jonathan, a precocious, lonely boy, is having tuition with Miss Lee, a teacher seemingly eager to please.
